We divide 286050 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 286050.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
28 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 286 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 286, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 340 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 45 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 681.0
Deduct 42 from 45 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 42

Step 6:
If we divide 30 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6810.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6810.7
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6810.71
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6810.714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6810.7142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6810.71428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6810.714285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6810.7142857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6810.71428571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6810.71428571 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
